eth1 changes to eth0

sometimes it happens that my wireless card goes from eth1 to eth0. not so much of a big problem since i can just reboot to get it normal again, but it annoys the crap out of me.
anyone else having this problem or know by any chance a fix?

ps. it wouldn't surprise me its one of those other 'quirks' of broadcom

Agnostos> I wonder if I can sneak that into a server startup script here.

could you give us more info like what you are doing when this happens and how did you discover that this was/is happening.

Thanks

well, seems its happening randomly at startup, most of the time i know this is happening cuz airodump gives errors then when i wrongly put eth1.

Is it an internal wireless, or an external wireless radio? I've seen machines number based on what's seen first.

Of course, if you really wanted to have some fun, go to Wal-Mart late at night and ask the greeter if they could help you find trashbags, roll of carpet, rope, quicklime, clorox and a shovel. See if they give you any strange looks. --Streaker69

Internal. If that's the case (on what's seen first), there's not really a solution

As I have said in the post I have installed that the issue can be reproduced on BT2 and BT3 also. I have an internal wifi card and an ethernet controller and they switching interface names sometimes.

It is very frustrating since I have several scripts at startup that do things to the interfaces and give me errors.

thnx a bunch for the link, same problem i guess

I'm pretty sure Re@lity posted a solution to force BT to assign a certain card a certain designation. Well I think it was Re@lity.

If I find it I will post a link.

This isn't the thread I was thinking about, but it may help.
